AutofillManager

EXTRA_ASSIST_STRUCTURE

public static final String EXTRA_ASSIST_STRUCTURE

Intent extra: The assist structure which captures the filled screen.

Type: AssistStructure

Constant Value: "android.view.autofill.extra.ASSIST_STRUCTURE"

EXTRA_AUTHENTICATION_RESULT

public static final String EXTRA_AUTHENTICATION_RESULT

Intent extra: The result of an authentication operation. It is either a fully populated FillResponse or a fully populated Dataset if a response or a dataset is being authenticated respectively.

Type: FillResponse or a Dataset

Constant Value: "android.view.autofill.extra.AUTHENTICATION_RESULT"

EXTRA_AUTHENTICATION_RESULT_EPHEMERAL_DATASET

public static final String EXTRA_AUTHENTICATION_RESULT_EPHEMERAL_DATASET

Intent extra: The optional boolean extra field provided by the AutofillService accompanying the Dataset result of an authentication operation.

Before Build.VERSION_CODES.R, if the authentication result is a Dataset, it'll be used to autofill the fields, and also replace the existing dataset in the cached FillResponse. That means if the user clears the field values, the autofill suggestion will show up again with the new authenticated Dataset.

In Build.VERSION_CODES.R, we added an exception to this behavior that if the Dataset being authenticated is a pinned dataset (see InlinePresentation.isPinned()), the old Dataset will not be replaced.

In Build.VERSION_CODES.S, we added this boolean extra field to allow the AutofillService to explicitly specify whether the returned authenticated Dataset is ephemeral. An ephemeral Dataset will be used to autofill once and then thrown away. Therefore, when the boolean extra is set to true, the returned Dataset will not replace the old dataset from the existing FillResponse. When it's set to false, it will. When it's not set, the old dataset will be replaced, unless it is a pinned inline suggestion, which is consistent with the behavior in Build.VERSION_CODES.R.

Constant Value: "android.view.autofill.extra.AUTHENTICATION_RESULT_EPHEMERAL_DATASET"

EXTRA_CLIENT_STATE

public static final String EXTRA_CLIENT_STATE

Intent extra: The optional extras provided by the AutofillService.

For example, when the service responds to a FillCallback.onSuccess(android.service.autofill.FillResponse) with a FillResponse that requires authentication, the Intent that launches the service authentication will contain the Bundle set by FillResponse.Builder.setClientState(Bundle) on this extra.

On Android Build.VERSION_CODES.P and higher, the autofill service can also add this bundle to the Intent set as the result for an authentication request, so the bundle can be recovered later on SaveRequest.getClientState().

Type: Bundle

Constant Value: "android.view.autofill.extra.CLIENT_STATE"

EXTRA_INLINE_SUGGESTIONS_REQUEST

public static final String EXTRA_INLINE_SUGGESTIONS_REQUEST

Intent extra: the InlineSuggestionsRequest in the autofill request.

This is filled in the authentication intent so the AutofillService can use it to create the inline suggestion Dataset in the response, if the original autofill request contains the InlineSuggestionsRequest.

Constant Value: "android.view.autofill.extra.INLINE_SUGGESTIONS_REQUEST"

cancel

public void cancel ()

Called to indicate the current autofill context should be cancelled.

This method is typically called by Views that manage virtual views; for example, when the view is rendering an HTML page with a form and virtual views that represent the HTML elements, it should call this method if the user does not post the form but moves to another form in this page.

Note: This method does not need to be called on regular application lifecycle methods such as Activity.finish().

commit

public void commit ()

Called to indicate the current autofill context should be commited.

This method is typically called by Views that manage virtual views; for example, when the view is rendering an HTML page with a form and virtual views that represent the HTML elements, it should call this method after the form is submitted and another page is rendered.

Note: This method does not need to be called on regular application lifecycle methods such as Activity.finish().

disableAutofillServices

public void disableAutofillServices ()

If the app calling this API has enabled autofill services they will be disabled.

getAutofillServiceComponentName

public ComponentName getAutofillServiceComponentName ()

Returns the component name of the AutofillService that is enabled for the current user.

getAvailableFieldClassificationAlgorithms

public List<String> getAvailableFieldClassificationAlgorithms ()

Gets the name of all algorithms currently available for field classification.

Note: This method should only be called by an app providing an autofill service, and it returns an empty list if the caller currently doesn't have an enabled autofill service for the user.

getDefaultFieldClassificationAlgorithm

public String getDefaultFieldClassificationAlgorithm ()

Gets the name of the default algorithm used for field classification.

The default algorithm is used when the algorithm on UserData is invalid or not set.

Note: This method should only be called by an app providing an autofill service, and it's ignored if the caller currently doesn't have an enabled autofill service for the user.

getNextAutofillId

public AutofillId getNextAutofillId ()

Gets the next unique autofill ID for the activity context.

Typically used to manage views whose content is recycled - see View.setAutofillId(AutofillId) for more info.

getUserData

public UserData getUserData ()

Gets the user data used for field classification.

Note: This method should only be called by an app providing an autofill service, and it's ignored if the caller currently doesn't have an enabled autofill service for the user.

getUserDataId

public String getUserDataId ()

Gets the id of the UserData used for field classification.

This method is useful when the service must check the status of the UserData in the device without fetching the whole object.

Note: This method should only be called by an app providing an autofill service, and it's ignored if the caller currently doesn't have an enabled autofill service for the user.

hasEnabledAutofillServices

public boolean hasEnabledAutofillServices ()

Returns true if the calling application provides a AutofillService that is enabled for the current user, or false otherwise.

isAutofillSupported

public boolean isAutofillSupported ()

Returns true if autofill is supported by the current device and is supported for this user.

Autofill is typically supported, but it could be unsupported in cases like:

1. Low-end devices.
2. Device policy rules that forbid its usage.

isEnabled

public boolean isEnabled ()

Checks whether autofill is enabled for the current user.

Typically used to determine whether the option to explicitly request autofill should be offered - see requestAutofill(android.view.View).

isFieldClassificationEnabled

public boolean isFieldClassificationEnabled ()

Checks if field classification is enabled.

As field classification is an expensive operation, it could be disabled, either temporarily (for example, because the service exceeded a rate-limit threshold) or permanently (for example, because the device is a low-level device).

Note: This method should only be called by an app providing an autofill service, and it's ignored if the caller currently doesn't have an enabled autofill service for the user.

notifyValueChanged

public void notifyValueChanged (View view)

Called to indicate the value of an autofillable View changed.

notifyValueChanged

public void notifyValueChanged (View view, 
                int virtualId, 
                AutofillValue value)

Called to indicate the value of an autofillable virtual view has changed.

notifyViewClicked

public void notifyViewClicked (View view)

Called to indicate a View is clicked.

notifyViewClicked

public void notifyViewClicked (View view, 
                int virtualId)

Called to indicate a virtual view has been clicked.

notifyViewEntered

public void notifyViewEntered (View view)

Called when a View that supports autofill is entered.

notifyViewEntered

public void notifyViewEntered (View view, 
                int virtualId, 
                Rect absBounds)

Called when a virtual view that supports autofill is entered.

The virtual view boundaries must be absolute screen coordinates. For example, if the parent, non-virtual view uses bounds to draw the virtual view inside its Canvas, the absolute bounds could be calculated by:

   int offset[] = new int[2];
   getLocationOnScreen(offset);
   Rect absBounds = new Rect(bounds.left + offset[0],
       bounds.top + offset[1],
       bounds.right + offset[0], bounds.bottom + offset[1]);
 

notifyViewExited

public void notifyViewExited (View view, 
                int virtualId)

Called when a virtual view that supports autofill is exited.

notifyViewExited

public void notifyViewExited (View view)

Called when a View that supports autofill is exited.

notifyViewVisibilityChanged

public void notifyViewVisibilityChanged (View view, 
                int virtualId, 
                boolean isVisible)

Called when a virtual view's visibility changed.

notifyViewVisibilityChanged

public void notifyViewVisibilityChanged (View view, 
                boolean isVisible)

Called when a view's visibility changed.

notifyVirtualViewsReady

public void notifyVirtualViewsReady (View view, 
                SparseArray<VirtualViewFillInfo> infos)

This method was deprecated in API level 36.
This function will not do anything. Showing fill dialog is now fully controlled by the framework and the autofill provider.

Called when the virtual views are ready to the user for autofill. This method is used to notify autofill system the views are ready to the user. And then Autofill can do initialization if needed before the user starts to input. For example, do a pre-fill request for the fill dialog.

registerCallback

public void registerCallback (AutofillManager.AutofillCallback callback)

Registers a AutofillCallback to receive autofill events.

requestAutofill

public void requestAutofill (View view, 
                int virtualId, 
                Rect absBounds)

Explicitly requests a new autofill context for virtual views.

Normally, the autofill context is automatically started if necessary when notifyViewEntered(android.view.View, int, android.graphics.Rect) is called, but this method should be used in the cases where it must be explicitly started. For example, when the virtual view offers an AUTOFILL option on its contextual overflow menu, and the user selects it.

The virtual view boundaries must be absolute screen coordinates. For example, if the parent view uses bounds to draw the virtual view inside its Canvas, the absolute bounds could be calculated by:

   int offset[] = new int[2];
   getLocationOnScreen(offset);
   Rect absBounds = new Rect(bounds.left + offset[0],
       bounds.top + offset[1],
       bounds.right + offset[0], bounds.bottom + offset[1]);
 

requestAutofill

public void requestAutofill (View view)

Explicitly requests a new autofill context.

Normally, the autofill context is automatically started if necessary when notifyViewEntered(android.view.View) is called, but this method should be used in the cases where it must be explicitly started. For example, when the view offers an AUTOFILL option on its contextual overflow menu, and the user selects it.

setUserData

public void setUserData (UserData userData)

Sets the UserData used for field classification

Note: This method should only be called by an app providing an autofill service, and it's ignored if the caller currently doesn't have an enabled autofill service for the user.

showAutofillDialog

public boolean showAutofillDialog (View view, 
                int virtualId)

This method was deprecated in API level 36.
This function will not do anything. Showing fill dialog is now fully controlled by the framework and the autofill provider.

If autofill suggestions for a dialog-style UI are available for virtual view, shows a dialog allowing the user to select a suggestion and returns true.

The dialog may not be shown if the autofill service does not support it, if the autofill request has not returned a response yet, if the dialog was shown previously, or if the input method is already shown.

It is recommended apps to call this method the first time a user focuses on an autofill-able form, and to avoid showing the input method if the dialog is shown. If this method returns false, you should then instead show the input method (assuming that is how the view normally handles the focus event). If the user re-focuses on the view, you should not call this method again so as to not disrupt usage of the input method.

showAutofillDialog

unregisterCallback

public void unregisterCallback (AutofillManager.AutofillCallback callback)

Unregisters a AutofillCallback to receive autofill events.
